The Malawi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has set to interview former President Professor Peter Mutharika on how his taxpayer identification number (TPIN) was deceitfully used by some other individuals while he was in office on August 17, 2021.
Martha Chizuma, who is the ACB Director General has confirmed of the development in an interview with the press.
Last month, the interrogation was postponed after Mutharika fell sick.
It is alleged that Mutharika’s TPIN was used to import 800 000 bags of cement worth K5 billion from Zambia and Zimbabwe, a development that also led to the arrest of his personal bodyguard Norman Chisale and State Residences chief of staff Peter Mukhito.
Besides the two aides, other individuals arrested in connection with the scandal were former Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) deputy commissioner general Roza Mbilizi and a Lilongwe-based Asian businessman Ahmed Chunara.
